"This truck was kind of whored out for years, as it changed owners several times," says Jeremy Forsyth of his latest featured minitruck. Between '06, when the Frontier was bodydropped, and '07, when Chaotic Customs conducted the body mods to it, not much happened in its favor since it wasn’t held by anyone long enough to evolve. Jeremy came across the truck in late 2010 and actually traded his MT-featured S-10 for the title. Trading a completed truck for a Construction Zone model is really taking a risk, but Jeremy felt that he needed to branch out from the world of Bow Ties and dive into something different.

Even though the Nissan was a bit rough around the edges when Jeremy got it, he recognized its potential. Its original owner had grand schemes for it and jumpstarted the build, but once it left his hands the unfortunate bouncing around from garage to garage brought progress to an abrupt standstill. Blame things on a tanking economy, lack of dedication, or other ongoing projects or prior commitments—whatever played a part in allowing this Frontier to fall through the cracks eventually worked to Jeremy’s favor. With some great modifications already in the can, he had an excellent push-start to completion.

Fresh paint found its way to the Nissan’s surface, and a full-blown custom interior was one thing that Jeremy really wanted for his new truck. But he wasn’t going to settle for a few painted interior pieces and a pair of so-so leather buckets. Instead, an assortment of exotic skins found their way inside the truck’s cab. French-stitched suede, gator, and faux leather eventually smothered the chopped stock seats, custom center console, door panels, sub enclosure, and the steering wheel to top off an interior fit for royalty. And what wasn’t wrapped in these fine materials was smoothed and painted to match the rich, tan-colored palette.

The Nissan has finally been given the attention it’s deserved since the first cuts were made in ’06. And to this day, Jeremy still thinks back to the intentions of those working on the truck saw for it back then: “A lot of hard work went into this Nissan over the years. It was an honor to be able to get my hands on it and finish it. Hopefully it is somewhat close to the caliber of what the original builder had envisioned for it.”

"Trading a completed feature truck for a Construction Zone model is really taking a risk."

"First off, thanks to God and my family and wife for putting up with this stuff. Rob Hohlt for helping with everything including lots of odds and ends, Big Body for all his help with everything.
